Hang on, Professor. Fred is on the way to the Hospital Wing to get Madam Pomfrey and George is down the hall in the nook (you know the one), if you can get to him.

[alt_terry]

cant get out, but hope Madam Pomfrey can get in.

tell her to please please hurry

[alt_percy]

Madam Pomfrey, I'm on my way to Professor Amycus' quarters--I think I know where they are. I'll meet you there, in case you need help getting either of them to the hospital wing.

(George, for the love of Merlin, don't do anything rash. Wait for Madam Pomfrey to get there.)

Be calm, Mr Boot. We shall be there shortly.

Poppy:

I read this and immediately nicked Molly's journal before she could. I'm sure you have your capable hands full for the moment but hope you'll report back that all are safe before she learns that three of her boys went to face Amycus Carrow waving a knife.

Let us know what happened as soon as you can, please. I hope young Terry is all right, too.

Oh, Arthur! Goodness, I'm glad you had such presence of mind. That runs in the family, doesn't it?

Rest assured, your boys are well. And Mr Boot is whole, though he's had another terrible fright. Knives, Arthur. It was knives.

But all's well. Tell Molly. I must go see to things now, but I promise you a fuller report in the morning.

Re: Order Only

[alt_molly]

Poppy . . . thank you. Thank you and bless you for getting there in time.

Re: Order Only

[alt_molly]

And Arthur, you sneaky, sneaky man!

However, in this case, I almost didn't mind. You're just lucky I didn't glance at the clock and see the hands pointing to "Mortal Peril."

[alt_molly]

I'm so glad you're all right, dear. You were very smart to call for help.

Re: Order Only

[alt_poppy]

Both of my patients are still in the thrall of deep sleep this morning. I wish I thought it would heal what truly ails them.

Your Percy was a great help last evening, Arthur. He has a surprisingly powerful stunning spell, that one! Knocked the sister clean off her feet, which was a mercy, since she was the one wielding a wand and sending very nasty spells our way as we entered the room. I'm afraid I have only fragmented images left of what occurred: Carrow slashing wildly as my Patronus bounded at him, barking and leaping and rushing him into a far corner; the woman covered in her own sick, snarling; the twins sweeping Mr Boot behind an overturned table.

It was chaotic, but we managed. I can't think what the elves made of the mess when they saw it. Shameful! I gave your boys a mild calming draught before sending them off, and I imagine they slept soundly last night. Mr Boot certainly did, though he refused my offer of a bed, insisting that he must have a spot on the floor directly beside his master's bed. At least I was able to cover him once he had drifted off.

Molly, Arthur. I wish I could have spared your children that experience, but there was no stopping them and no time for debating the point. Forgive me.

[alt_arthur]

Son, we've heard from the school a little bit about what happened last night. Your mum and I are proud that you helped out in a ticklish situation, but even more glad that you are all right.

[alt_arthur]

Thanks for your quick actions last night, boys. Your mum and I are very proud of you.

Re: Order Only

[alt_molly]

Good heavens, Poppy. I'm so grateful this escapade ended without injuries. Not even the Carrows, worse luck.

Minerva, I suppose it's too much hope that we can get one or the other of them sacked now?

Re: Order Only

[alt_poppy]

Without serious injuries, it is true, although Carrow managed to cut himself a fair gash on one thigh as he fell, and they each seemed to have acquired a few scrapes and bumps in transit to my ward. Perhaps I expected overmuch of the boys when I put them in charge of managing the Mobilicorpus spells to move our patients through the castle. It was very dark, of course, and the corridors are so cluttered with statues and armour, and the stairs will shift whenever one begins a flight, so there's no wonder how it might have happened. And it's nothing that time won't cure, though it may cost the Carrows each a bit of discomfort in the meantime.


Really, Molly. You and Arthur should be very proud of your sons and the way they conducted themselves last evening.

Re: Order Only

[alt_molly]

I imagine Fred and George, at least, wouldn't have been able to resist the opportunity to add a few more clonks to Amycus Carrow's noggin. It's certainly hard enough.

Here's to wishing that your next few days are not quite as exciting.

[alt_terry]

the mudblood's just happy that Madam Pomfrey could help the master and his sister.
